spiritually? ?
![Page 5: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
“The Christian way is different: harder, and easier. Christ says, “Give me all! I don’t want so much of your time, so much of
your talents and money, and so much of your work. I want you. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No
half measures are any good….
![Page 6: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead.
In fact, I will give you myself.“
”~ CS Lewis Mere Christianity

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and
Galatians 5:16
you will not gratify the desires ofthe flesh….

“…who walk not according to the
flesh but according to the Spirit.”
~ The Apostle Paul in Romans 8:4

“…walk in a manner worthy of the Lord,
fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in
every good work and increasing in the
knowledge of God.”~ The Apostle Paul in
Colossians 1:10
![Page 12: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
For the desires of the flesh are
Galatians 5:17
against the desires of the Spirit,and the desires of the Spirit areagainst the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep youfrom doing the things you want todo…
![Page 13: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
But if you are led by the Spirit, you
Galatians 5:18
are not under the law….
![Page 14: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

glory of the Father, we too might walk in
newness of life.” ~ The Apostle Paul in Romans 6:4

Now the works of the flesh are

I warn you, as I warned you before,
Galatians 5:19-21
that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God….

But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
Galatians 5:22-23
joy, peace, patience, kindness, good-ness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there isno law….
![Page 18: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

“Spiritual growth is not about moving on from where we began—the
gospel. It’s about growing deeper in
the gospel. Or rather, getting the gospel deeper into us.”
![Page 28: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“The gospel does not command us to do anything
in order to obtain life, but bids us live by that which
another has done; and the knowledge of its life-giving
truth is not labour but rest—rest of soul—rest which is
the root of all true labour…;
~ Horatius Bonar 1808-1889
![Page 29: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“…for in receiving Christ we do not work in order to rest, but we rest in order to work. In believing, we cease to work for pardon, in order
that we may work from it…; ~ Horatius Bonar 1808-1889
![Page 30: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“…and what incentive to work, as well as joy in
working, can be greater than an ascertained and realized forgiveness?”
~ Horatius Bonar 1808-1889

Bishop JC Ryle 1816-1900
When I speak of growth in grace I only mean
increase in the degree, size, strength, vigor and
power of the graces which the Holy Spirit plants in a believer’s
heart….
![Page 35: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Bishop JC Ryle 1816-1900
When I speak of a man growing in grace, I mean simply this—that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope
brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual-
mindedness more marked.
![Page 36: Sermon Slide Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547922175806b599048b4665/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Bishop JC Ryle 1816-1900
He feels more of the power of godliness in his own heart. He manifests more of it in his life. He is going on from strength to
strength, from faith to faith, and from grace to
grace.
